Ji Tianxing took out the Atlas Badge and showed it to the two guards.
The two of them asked him a few questions before opening the city gates.
The five-meter-tall black city gate slowly opened with a muffled "creak creak creak" sound.
Ji Tianxing stepped through the city gates and entered Spirit Flame City for the first time.
As soon as he entered the city, he saw a straight and wide road that led straight to the center of the city.
Spirit Flame City followed the layout of human cities a thousand years ago. The city was squarish and the roads in the city were straight. The roads of different sizes crisscrossed and were easy to identify.
Even if it was someone's first time entering the city, as long as they were not too stupid, they would not get lost.
Ji Tianxing walked on the main road and looked around curiously.
On both sides of the main road were rows upon rows of houses and buildings. Most of them were two-to-three-story shops that sold elixirs, weapons and equipment, talisman materials, and even demon beasts and spirit beasts …
Ji Tianxing strolled around the city for an hour and felt that this ancient city was basically similar to the cities of the mortal world.
However, the people living in the city were all martial artists. The trades and professions in the city were also closely related to martial arts.
Moreover, on both sides of every main road in Spirit Flame City, there were statues of human powerhouses.
Those statues were more than five meters tall and the carvings were lifelike.
The people carved were also of different shapes and sizes. There were white-haired old men, stalwart middle-aged men, and benevolent old women.
Ji Tianxing knew that these ancient statues were of the ancestors of Spirit Flame City and the eight sects. They were all powerhouses who dominated the region.
Apart from that, there were also many large relief sculptures on the walls of some palaces and tall buildings.
The people and scenery on the relief sculptures were all very lifelike. They depicted legends and stories of powerhouses slaying demons and devils, traveling through clouds and rain, and bestowing kindness to the people of the world.
When Ji Tianxing passed by those relief sculptures, he would stop and look at them for a while.
It was early in the morning and the entire Spirit Flame City was still in a deep sleep.
The main road was cold and cheerless. Many of the shops on both sides had yet to open.
Ji Tianxing walked along the main road into the city. He was also thinking about where he should go to ask for information.
News and legends about the Heavenly Star Bead were widely spread in the Ancient Realm of Stars. Many great forces and experts had heard of this legend.
Once news of the Heavenly Star Bead appeared, it would definitely attract the attention of various forces and experts.
Therefore, he would never reveal anything related to the Heavenly Star Bead.
He just wanted to find a place to inquire about the secret of the painting.
As the sun slowly rose, the sleeping Flame Spirit City gradually woke up.
The shops on both sides of the street opened their doors one after another. Many martial artists and commoners walked onto the streets.
The city gradually became lively. The cries of peddlers and the laughter of martial artists could be heard everywhere.
Ji Tianxing was still strolling leisurely in the city, silently observing the situation.
Unknowingly, half a day had passed.
In the afternoon, after many inquiries and inquiries, he finally had a plan in his heart and rushed to the Octagon Restaurant in the city.
The Octagon Restaurant was a force that specialized in selling and trading all kinds of information. Its name meant to be observant and alert.
If he wanted to inquire about any information in the Ancient Realm of Stars, it was definitely the right choice to go to the Octagon Restaurant.
Ji Tianxing followed the directions of the passersby and quickly found the Octagon Restaurant at the end of a quiet street.
This was an octagonal pagoda that was twenty meters tall. It occupied a large area and had a magnificent aura.
The entire pagoda was dark gold in color. Under the reflection of the setting sun, it emitted specks of golden light.
The eight corners of the pagoda were engraved with the statues of eight spirit beasts. These spirit beasts were all rare and mysterious beasts.
Ji Tianxing stood on the street outside the pagoda and looked up for a while.
During this time, he saw a few martial artists entering and leaving the Octagon Restaurant.
Those who went in had a serious or anxious expression, while those who came out had a rosy complexion and were in high spirits.
Seeing this scene, Ji Tianxing smiled and stepped through the door of the Octagon Restaurant.
After stepping through the door, there was a spacious and bright hall.
On the left side of the hall was a tall counter. Behind the counter sat a middle-aged scholar wearing a square scarf hat and a goatee.
Two martial artists who had just entered stood in front of the counter and asked the middle-aged scholar something.
The middle-aged scholar looked indifferent. He gently waved the goose feather fan in his hand and slowly explained something.
Ji Tianxing walked towards the counter. When he was five meters away from the counter, he was stopped by a middle-aged man in black.
This middle-aged man was the manager of the Octagon Restaurant. With a dignified expression, he said, "Is this your first time in our Octagon Restaurant? Don't you know the rules of our Octagon Restaurant? "
"When Mister Yan is talking to a guest, no one is allowed to come near!"
Ji Tianxing was stunned for a moment. He quickly cupped his hands and explained with an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, it's my first time here. I hope you can forgive me for my rudeness."
The middle-aged man nodded and didn't say anything else. He turned around and left.
Ji Tianxing waited in the corner of the hall for a moment. After the two martial artists left, he walked to the counter.
The middle-aged scholar, Mister Yan, nodded slightly at him and asked slowly, "Little Brother, what information do you want to ask?"
Ji Tianxing didn't waste any time. He quickly took out the mountain painting and a few Spirit Stones from the black book and placed them on the counter.
"Mister Yan, may I ask where this place is depicted in the painting?"
Mister Yan raised his eyebrows and stared at the painting for a moment. He then raised his head and looked at Ji Tianxing carefully.
He waved the goose feather fan and said in a serious tone, "Little Brother, the place depicted in the painting is a famous dangerous place in the Ancient Realm, the Hidden Fog Mountain Range.
"The Hidden Fog Mountain Range is extremely dangerous. There are powerful demonic beasts and ferocious beasts entrenched there. There are also all kinds of snakes, insects, poisonous ants, and unexpected dangers.
"In addition, this area is shrouded in fog for many years. Even if you look down from the sky, you won't be able to see the situation in the mountain range. The fog is very strange, and it can even block the detection of spiritual sense. "
"Many martial artists have entered the Hidden Fog Mountain Range, but most of them died. If you don't have a detailed map of the Hidden Fog Mountain Range, you will lose your way in the mountain range and never be able to walk out.
"Since a hundred years ago, the name of this dangerous place has become more and more famous. Now, almost no one dares to enter it."
"Hidden Fog Mountain Range …" Ji Tianxing muttered the name in his heart. He remembered Mister Yan's words.
He frowned and thought for a moment before he asked again, "Mister Yan, where can I get a map of the Hidden Fog Mountain Range?"
Mister Yan frowned and thought for a moment before he said in a serious tone, "You can go to the market in the eastern part of the city and look for the owner of the Heavenly Eagle Casino.
"In the entire Spirit Flame City, only he has a map of the Hidden Fog Mountain Range. If even he doesn't have it, then no one else has it. "
Ji Tianxing nodded and thanked Mister Yan before he turned to leave.
However, Mister Yan smiled and added, "However, not everyone can meet the owner of the Heavenly Eagle Casino."
